Dazed and Confused.

I've been reading about the heat issues. And, I getting ready to start working on my 2013 ST-L. My question is, does removing the catalytic converter solve the heat issue. If I do the PitBull bypass, is there no need for JT's air filter.

I know, I know. . . Do both. But my wallet says only one at a time.

After the heat issue is solved, then I can give BajaRon a call.

The cat bypass is a major heat source so i would tackle that one first and then judge whether or not you need additional relief.

JT's air box opens up the air space and improves performance but the cat removal will get the big heat out. Then when possible do the rest.

THE CAT RESTRICTS THE AMOUNT OF 'GASES' THAT CAN PASS THROUGH IT.....
IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ADD ANYTHING PRIOR TO THAT.... THE ENGINE WILL NOT BENEFIT FROM TOP-END IMPROVEMENTS, UNTIL THE BOTTOM END IS ALLOW TO FLOW BETTER.....

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY: IF YOU CAN'T POOP (EXHAUST), YOU'RE NOT GOING TO EAT MUCH (INTAKE)..... ARE YOU?

Your advice makes sense. Now I know what I'm going to do. . . (Hey, Mr. pit Bull!)

Look at heat wrapping your exhaust. That will be very inexpensive and makes an appreciable amount of difference in engine compartment heat.
